Someone has released a patched version of mongrel 1.1.5 that will
compile its extensions against 1.9.1 just fine... the link is all over
the comments for mongrel on isitruby19.com, let me look real quick...

This one: gem install mongrel --source http://gems.rubyinstaller.org

That 'someone' is me, so I'm pretty aware of that release and its
limitations :slight_smile:

That release was done as proof of concept, but should not be used as
production environment since lot of tests didn't complete.

Works great for me (just tested it against ruby 1.9.1 on cygwin... it
is a little slow as mongrel on windows tends to be for some reason,
I'll have to try it on my linux box later)

It will work, but again: I advise against it until official 1.1.6
release is made.

I'm working on it but JRuby parser is still giving me some issues.
Once that is ironed, expect an official release with 1.9 support.

Cheers,

Somehow, I knew that someone might have been you as soon as I posted
that this morning. :slight_smile:

You are everywhere!

God bless you though. You are really a god send to this community.

Take care mate.

OK, thanks for clarifying that 1.1.6. All I really knew about it was
it was a lot easier than patching 1.1.5 with all the RSTRING_PTRs and
whatever else like I did until I found that :slight_smile:

I would recommend you use the newer rubyinstaller package.

I would like to know the procedure for setting up the rails
environment.
